How To Buy A Digital Camera

Those steps take you through the kinds of questions you should ask and things you should think about before you buy your next camera.

6. Optical Zooms are King

Not all ‘zooms’ are created equal.

When you’re looking at different models of digital cameras you’ll often
hear their zooms talked about in two ways. Firstly there’s the ‘optical
zoom’ and then there’s the ‘digital zoom’.

I would highly recommend that you only take into
consideration the ‘optical zoom’ when making a decision about which
camera to buy. Digital zooms simply enlarge the pixels in your shot
which does make your subject look bigger, but it also makes it look
more pixelated and your picture ‘noisier’ (like when you go up close to
your TV).
